Tala (Sanskrit tālà, literally a "clap", also transliterated as "tala") is the term used in Indian classical music for the rhythmic pattern of any composition and for the entire subject of rhythm, roughly corresponding to metre in Western music, though closer conceptual equivalents are to be found in other Asian classical systems such as the notion of usul in the theory of Ottoman/Turkish music.
Rhythm in Indian music performs the function of a time counter. A taal is a rhythmic cycle of beats with an ebb and flow of various types of intonations resounded on a percussive instrument. Each such pattern has its own name. Indian classical music has complex, all-embracing rules for the elaboration of possible patterns, though in practice a few taals are very common while others are rare. The most common taal in Hindustani classical music is Teental, a cycle of four measures of four beats each.
A taal does not have a fixed tempo and can be played at different speeds. In Hindustani classical music a typical recital of a raga falls into two or three parts categorized by the tempo of the music - Vilambit laya (Slow tempo), Madhya laya (Medium tempo) and Drut laya (Fast tempo). In Carnatic Music, there are five categories of tempo namely - Chauka (1 stroke per beat), Vilamba (2 strokes per beat), Madhyama(4 beats per beat), Dhuridha(8 strokes per beat), Adi-Dhuridha(16 strokes per beat). But, although the tempo changes, the fundamental rhythm does not.
Each repeated cycle of a taal is called an avartan. A tala is generally divided into sections (vibhaags), not all of which may have the same number of beats.
The most common instrument for keeping rhythm in Hindustani music is the tabla, while in Carnatic music, it is the mridangam (Also trinsliterated as mridang).

ta ja la ovat tavuja, jotka esiintyvät lähes kaikissa kielissä. Amerikan intiaaneille "tala" on pyhä naarassusi. Tala on Samoan rahayksikkö. Japaniksi tala on "kylmän veden herkullinen kala" ja nimikorttini japanilaiset kanjimerkit aiheuttavat riemukkaan reaktion; "heikki tala" on tuore turska. Yleensä japsit pitävät pokkansa, mutta eivät koskaan ole pystyneet siihen nimikorttini nähtyään. Arabiemiraattien Sharjan kaupungissa on TALA -niminen kaupunginosa, jonne sikäläinen sheikki minut vei bemarillaan. Ruotsissakin tala -sanalla on osuva merkitys "Tala innan det blir tyst". Intialaisen musiikin rytmi on "tala". Italiassa on kotitalouskoneita ja -laitteita valmistava firma. USA:ssa julkaisiin Tala -nimisistä ihmisistä koottu hakuteos vuosia sitten - olen sielläkin mukana esimerkkinä, että Suomessakin sen nimisiä ihmisiä on monien muiden maiden lisäksi.
Olen ollut onnekas nimeni suhteen! :-)
Mitähän kielitieteilijät sanovat tällaisesta sanasta, joka esiintyy useassa kielessä?
Hurrilla näyttää olevan nuo mustalais-esi-isiensä soittimet hallussa. Hyvä svekkko-manne!
vain Stalin :)
